I need your assistance if your Agency has opted to report the value of employer paid member contributions (EPMC) to CalPERS as additional compensation. I have two questions: 1) Is the EPMC that is reported as additional compensation subject to just the employee contribution rate? Or, does the employer contribution need to be computed on this amount, as well? 2) If only the employee contribution needs to be computed on the EPMC, how do you deal with reporting two different wage bases on the PERS Report, a higher wage base for employee contributions (the wages earned plus the value of EPMC), and a lower one for the employer contributions (only the wages earned). I have been trying to get this issue resolved with PERS, but have not been able to reach the person that can give me give me a clear answer. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Time is of the essence.
